When did Al Gore become engaging? Was he always and I just missed it? This is like in middle school when that dorky weird kid in the corner suddenly started to look kind of good to you, and then all his formerly annoying quirks became cute and crushworthy, and then the next thing you knew you were “going together.” This is not to say that I want to date Al Gore. I’m just fascinated by the fact that all of a sudden I think he’s very interesting to listen to.

Ooh, Sarah Vowell had a great essay about Al Gore in The Partly Cloudy Patriot, about how people didn’t like him because he wasn’t self-depracating about his dorkiness. Now he is, and I think that makes all the difference.

Did you hear about Jim Webb and Dubya getting into it at some event for new congresspeople? Apparently Dubya asked about Webb’s son and he said he hoped all the soliders got to come home soon, and Dub’s like, that’s not what i asked, how’s your boy? and Webb’s like.. that’s between me and my son…

Mark Warner is the former governor of Virginia – a Democrat who was elected in a Republican state and basically told everyone in the VA Senate and House of Delegates to quit dicking around and make some progress already. And progress was made.

That’s really a gross oversimplification, so let me add another one: Mark Warner is the future hope of America and while he might not be running in ’08, I don’t think we’re done with him by a long shot. I hope we aren’t.
